Paula, can you hear me?

Coming through loud and clear. Can you hear me?

Yes, ma 'am, just beautifully.

Both you and the signal. Where are you?

Aha, trying to find me.

You want to play games?

Okay, I will find you.

Hey, Judy, give me a hand. Where is she?

Now, you're a big help.

I'll find her by myself.

She's that -a -way.

Hey,

Paula, where

are you?

You're getting colder.

In fact, you're freezing.

Hey, Clarence.

Did you see her? Which way did she go?

Now you're a big help.

I'll have to find her myself.

She's got to be close by somewhere.

Well, don't worry, wise guy. I'll find you fast enough.

Hey, Paula, where are you? It sounds like I'm right on top of you.

Paula, where are you? Come on, talk to me.

You saw me!

No, I heard you all the way.

Leather stocking, Jack.

Jane, the mighty tracker, I give up.

Good. I think I'm going to get one of these for your father.

He can strap it on to you and save about an hour a day.

I thank you to keep that idea to yourself, hero.

Well, with this little mighty wizard, anyone can be a hero.

Well, you were able to track me, but I'm not a Cape Buffalo.

Not hardly.

You have gained a little weight lately.

You! Oh, no!

You're not, little lady.

Completely shock -proof.

You've got to be on the horn of a Cape Buffalo. That's why it took us so long.

Well, I hope it really works.

If it does, we'll be able to track that herd every mile of its migration.

It'll be the first time in history.

Yep. The Romero wizards have done it again.

Shall we tell Mike to pass the test?

All right.

I'll go up to the clinic. I'll check the house. Okay.

Hey, Mike.

Over here, Paula.

Congratulations, fellow genius at work. Ah, Marconi, we did it. Next week, anti

-gravity, of course.

What a pair of egos. Just for building a shock -proof radio transmitter, a

project which I inaugurated.

Hey, where is it?

Is it here?

It was.

Oh, no.

He swallowed it.

We better get it back. Mike, you take the right side. Uh -huh.

Nicely.

It's fat with game and no doubt a number one rhino country.

Ugly, valuable creatures that they are.

Bendix, you know, for a man that's about to become independently wealthy, you

don't look very happy.

No, no, no, don't worry. I won't let any of those animals get you.

Oh, come off it, Connors. It's just simply that when we passed that animal

center, I noticed that there was a district officer's vehicle there.

Yes, and well, just what has that got to do with us? All right, you listen to

me. Those district officers, they cover a lot of territory.

Might just decide to come out here and check up on us.

Ah, the district officer, you say? That's right.

Well, no doubt, Patrick. Well, Connors can make him see things our way.

And if not, well, I'm a hunter.

And by definition, a hunter is a man who kills things.

So if a district officer comes sniffing around, well, I might have to kill him.

Now, Walter.

Did you find anything?

Completely gone.

Nor a sight.

Oh, great.

For us, an ostrich with a radio becomes invisible.

Hmm. All our work. And for what result?

An ostrich with a bellyache.

Not, Herman. He can digest anything.

He's probably enjoying a buzzing around inside of him now.

Buzzing?

He's broadcasting.

We may not be able to see him, but we can hear him.

That's intense. He's probably nearby.

Yeah, but it's coming from over here.

From up.

Ah, since when can an ostrich climb a tree?

Of course I wouldn't put anything past her. I don't know, but it's coming from

up there.

Judy up there and she's got it.

She had it all the time.

Okay, thief.

Hand it down.

Come on down. We're not angry.

Yeah, I'm not angry either. Please, Judy, bring it down, huh?

Judy, it's not your toy. Now bring that right down.

Judy, did you hear me? Bring that down.

Please, Judy.

Good girl.

Good girl.

Judy! Judy!

Where'd she go?

Oh, I think she's headed for the house. Come on.

Judy! Judy!

I got her to the house. She likes to hide there. Judy!

Judy! Judy!

Judy!

Okay, Hawkeye.

This is your last chance.

Which way did Judy go?

Okay, no more questions.

Hey, Judy!

Mean all the resources of modern science versus duty hmm eight to five on duty

We go

Uh

-huh

you two ladies are beginning to think alike Come on.

I give me that She was just playing with it. I'm sure she didn't damage it.

Is it all right?

Seems to be.

Yeah, Judy was just testing it, weren't you?

That's right.

So you guys don't give her a bad time.

Oh, no.

As a matter of fact, Judy has done us a considerable favor.

How? By giving me an ulcer?

It could have taken us a week to catch Herman.

No. I mean, she has given our little transmitter a real field test.

Hey, that's right.

She's probably shaken it, dropped it out of trees, bounced it.

Siree and the little gem held up.

Thank you, Judy.

Hi, Doc.

Hi, Marsh. Hiya, Marsh.

And just what have you two been up to?

This transmitter was supposed to be on that buffalo's horn an hour ago.

Yeah, but we were trying to put the thing on. Never mind, never mind, never

mind. Look, that herd's getting rested.

They're liable to move out any minute, and this could be our last chance to

study their migratory habits. Right, but we know that. Well, now, just get it

done and do as I ask. Instead of fooling around, Apollo, come on. We've got to

get out to the bird stairs.

Now, you two get out to that buffalo herd.

Look, Marshal, we were trying to take care of it. Don't complain, don't

Just get to it, and don't forget to put it on the one I told you about.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Hey,

Bendix,

come and take a look at this.

There's got to be more than a hundred of them.

Look.

Coming in on us.

Give me that, Bendix.

Gentlemen, my name is Headley. I'm the district officer.

May I see your papers, please?

Yes, my name is Patrick Boyle Connors, and this is me traveling companion, one

Aloysius Bendix.

These game licenses are not valid here.

Come now, Inspector. These are as legal as that handsome uniform you're wearing.

We got them in Nagoro.

My dear sir, you're in the Womaru Game Reserve.

No hunting allowed.

The free area where hunting is legal is 50 miles due north.

Oh, you're an idiot, Bendix. You told me that you knew this territory.

Well, it's been about five years since I was here last.

Africa's an immense continent. It's very easy to stray 50 miles off course.

Now, here is where you are.

And there is where you may go after game, provided you stay within limits.

Thank you, sir. I do appreciate your kind advice.

If I may offer you another piece of advice.

This is our dry season.

The bush is like tinder.

So when you move on, please put your campfire out and make sure it's out.

The last bushfire we had was a frightening spectacle.

Thousands of animals tampeding and hundreds scorched to death.

Oh, right you are, sir.

Even though I am a hunter, my admiration for those splendid animals of yours is

no less than yours.

Starting to move out.

He's over there, to the right.

Yeah, it's him, all right. They're moving out.

1130.

Have you heard from Winston?

Winston? The buffalo reminds Paul of Winston Churchill.

Why? Because he smokes cigars?

No, because he's stubborn.

You know, once he gets started, we won't be able to hold him in.

Let me have a look here.

What's Winston been up to today?

Probably left the waterhole about 10 o 'clock this morning.

Since then, his grazing pattern has been erratic.

He's moved over a two -mile area.

The whole herd's been following him, Marsh.

Could be they've decided to move out, look for new water.

Well, then maybe we might have the answers to how buffaloes search for

You know, whether one takes the lead like Winston and takes the others along.

Hey, uh, can you see that transmitter on his horn?

Uh -huh.

Took us two long months to put that thing together.

That wasn't half as hard as getting it attached to Winston, though.

You see, this way he operates like a radio beacon.

We track him as the herd finds new water and grazing territory.

If he moves out, we just follow him by radio.

Hey, Doc, you wouldn't by any chance be interested in taking over this

observation post for a while, would you?

Not today, Jack.

Mm -hmm.

Got a little problem.

What kind?

Rhino.

Remember that herd we worked so hard to tag a few months ago?

You mean the time Lulabelle and Herman almost ran over you?

Yeah.

Well, anyway, I got word that a herd's moved in near the northwest waterhole. I

want to check them out, see if they're the same ones we tagged.

Want me to come along?

Well, since you seem to know some of those rhinos by their first names.

But, Dad, what about Winston?

Well, you two stay here with Jack and keep your eye on Winston. And you two

your eye on Paula.

We can handle it.

But, Dad.

Honey, we'll be back in a few hours.

But, Dad, what if the buffalo herd move out? If the buffalo herd moves out,

we'll all go together.

But I want you to wait until Mike and I get back.

All right?

All right.

But hurry. Yeah, we won't be going long.

Feast your eyes on those rhinos, Blindix.

And then tell me what a pair of horns from each one of those fine fellas would

bring on the open market.

About 500 apiece, maybe more.

Oh, you're a positive wizard at arithmetic, even though you're a total

navigation.

We can't risk shooting him now.

Not with Headley and his men patrolling the area.

Oh, you're a small man with a peanut for a brain. Don't you think that we could

correct that situation by driving this herd of rhinos off the reserve?

I could drop the lot of them in one day.

And I'd enjoy killing all those ugly beasts, only because I don't care for

stuffed shirt with a fancy hat on his head telling me where I can and where I

can't hunt. I'm Patrick Boyle Connors, and no man on God's green earth lays his

little rules on me.

But, Connors, how can we drive this herd 50 miles off the reserve?

Pettis, give me that rifle and load up, will you?

Listen here, Appendix, will you? It was that Officer Hadley that sparked the

idea for me.

The wind's blowing to the north, so those stupid beasts will run in the

northerly direction.

They'll run clear off this reserve and right into our pockets. It'll be like

shooting fish in a barrel.

Hannes, you're crazy, will you?

What's the matter with you?

Hannes, if you kill half the animals in the reserve, then what about us? We'll

be trapped here. We'll be burned to a crisp.

Oh, don't talk like a sniveling old lady, will you?

Those that can't like ourselves and can run out, well, that's okay. Those that

can't, well, that's Mother Lisa's law of survival, isn't it?

Survival of the fittest. Now, look, you forget about those animals and remember,

we're going to reap the harvest of a rich man's bonfire.

And you get yourself inside that truck and get it started now. Right away, you

hear me?

Thank you.

The animal in the area is running.

Yes, it did get a bit out of hand.

This will attract every policeman for 50 miles around.

Fine. The cats will be kept busy firefighting while we move north after

rhino. But Headley and his man saw us in this area.

If they catch us now... They won't. They'll be too occupied.

Come on.

Thank you.

Bob! Bob, I'm about two miles back.

You made front heading north. I know. I've given out the alarm.

The units should be here any minute now.

Jumo!

Lock the planes right to the side of you.

What if the fire's that way? What are you after here?

Evidence.

You see this pickle can?

Yes.

I recognized it.

This little token was left at the point the fire was started.

Was started? You mean a deterrent? Yes.

Another pretty good idea of the identity of the two culprits. Oh. Two hunters

named Connors and Bendix.

How could a fire help them?

There was a goodly -sized herd of rhino in the area, and I'd warned these men

that hunting was prohibited on the reserve. So I suppose they started the

to drive the herd north out of the reserve. Yeah, where they can be

without any interference.

These must be their tidebacks.

Yeah.

Fire group.

You men there!

Get round Jumo and stab those flames out!

Mr. Headley.

Tom and Kodo, the Wally Volunteer Fire Battalion.

They'll be up as long shortly.

The main fire front's a bit north. I'll show you as soon as we put out this fire

in the gullet. Right.

Headley, Mike and I are going to head north towards the good old cliff.

Well, that fire won't reach that area for hours.

Yeah, but there's Connors and, uh... Bendix. Bendix, eh, Mike?

Try to pick up the trail. See if we can save some animals on the way, too.

Well, I would go with you, but I'd better stay here and coordinate the

firefighting unit. All right.

Well, Mike, you're going to get Paul on the radio, will you?

Blue Zebra, come in.

Blue Zebra, come in.

Blue Zebra here. Come in. Come in.

You'd better take these with you together with some real bullets in case

come across those two firebugs. No, thanks, old man. I'll take them. I'll

tranquilize the rifle.

Blue Zebra here. Come in. Come in.

Paula?

Paula, there's been a change of plans.

I want you and Jack to go back to the compound right away.

Dad, Buffalo Heard's moving out.

And so are you.

Back to the compound.

Now, be a good girl and do as I say, right? We'll see you later.

Just won't listen.

Good thing she doesn't know about this fire.

She's going to try to save some animals and get herself into nothing but

trouble. Come on, move over, will you? We'd better get out of here.

Now, I hope you two will keep out of trouble, too.

If you spot Connors and Bendix, keep them under surveillance and radio me.

No worries.

Can't abandon an experiment at this time.

Look, when the commander -in -chief says retreat, you retreat.

Oh, boy, are you a dedicated scientist.

Oh, look, be reasonable, Paula.

Be reasonable? Was Marie Curie reasonable?

Or Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, or Sister Kenny?

Here we go.

Well, they got things accomplished, and so will I.

That's Winston broadcasting, and I'm going to follow him.

All by yourself, huh?

I'll take Judy with me.

Oh, come on. Sit down.

Just what do you think you're doing?

I really don't know.

Apparently volunteering for a wild buffalo hunt.

Congratulations.

What a nice surprise.

I don't suppose you bothered to pack the supplies?

Of course I did. I brought food and water and a hypodermic rifle and some

Now, are you ready?

I'm not exactly a tenderfoot, you know.

Well, certainly not. The only tender part of you is your head.

See, there he is.

Yep, and here we are.

Even though we shouldn't be.

Try the receiver, huh?

How about that?

Away we go!

Jack, do you see him?

Yep.

I don't see him.

I don't see him. I don't

see

him.

I don't see him.

Moving north towards the foothill.

And moving fast.

Faster than he really should.

Giraffes.

Most of the giraffes are 30 miles south of here.

Oh, big deal, giraffes. Don't be melodramatic.

Jack, they're moving fast. Something's fighting them.

Axiom. There is a logical explanation for every natural occurrence.

There you go again, quoting that.

It's true, isn't it?

Well, I'd like to know what logical explanation is driving this game north.

Well, it could be a pride of lions.

Jack, a pride of lions would only scatter the game. And they're all moving

the same direction.

That's true.

Well, maybe they're looking for water because of this drought.

Oh, those elephants aren't looking for water. They're frightened.

And you know elephants don't have natural enemies.

You're right.

Oh, and Judy senses something, too.

There's something funny about the air.

Oak?

Oh, no.

Oh, brother.

No wonder every animal in this jungle is running for its life.

Oh, Jack, can we make it back to the compound?

I don't think so. Not with this wind.

Maybe we better go north like the animals.

Trust their instinct for survival.

What, do you think we can make it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

That fire is almost catching up with us.

Ah, Bendix, you're a chicken -hot coward.

We can outrun that fire, but you'll never outrun your condition.

Don't talk to me like that.

And who will stop me?

They're heading northwest now.

Yeah, they're at that rhino herd, all right.

Witches.

We're getting closer, though.

I'm glad we didn't start trailing the buffalo herd today.

On that fire, we might have run into real trouble.

With Paul all along, too.

Well, let's get going.

Well, we've got enough of a lead to circle around and go back to the

No, we have to help the animals that are trapped here.

Oh, Jack, isn't there something we can do for them?

Well, maybe if we started up a backfire, we could open up an escape corridor for

some of them.

But it's going to take time. It's going to cut down our own chances. Well, maybe

too much.

I don't care. We're going to have to try.

Come on.

Gasoline and red.

Hey, boy.

Close the can up tight.

Hold them.

Okay, let's go.

Well, it's a chance.

Let's get going.

But, Jack, you think the animals will be able to find the safe area?

I can't guarantee it. Unless we lead them to safety.

That's too dangerous. Come on. Oh, Jack, I know it's risky, but it sure does for

the animals.

You're right.

Let's go.

Looks like the whole reserve is on fire.

Well, when Patrick Boyle Connors does something, he does it proper.

That district officer and his lousy rules. Let him breathe smoke for a

Yeah, but if they ever find out that we've done it... They won't, little man.

We'll be outside of this reserve in two hours, and so will our rhinos.

Now, hang on tight, and I'll see you soon.

Watch it, will you? All right, little man.

Well, that's pretty clever.

He figured out how to escape by using those cliffs as a windbreak between him

and the fire.

Why shouldn't he? You used your reasoning power to head this way, didn't

Yeah, well, sure, but... And he just happened to get here first, which makes

a little bit smarter than you.

Oh, well, that's ridiculous.

All right, look. Winston and I will take our IQs at some other time. Right now,

we've got to turn off.

Well, what is it?

We're out of gas.

Well, don't stand there. Get the extra can from the back.

You used our reserve gasoline to start the fire, remember?

All right, what are we going to do now, big man, huh? How are we going to get

out of here, huh?

Look at that.

Look.

Look at that.

The fire's closing in.

We're going to be killed.

Yeah, you're going to be killed, all right. But don't shut up, Will, while

trying to think.

Look, I'm not going to take any more orders from you. I'm not going to stay

and be burned alive.

You get that ammunition and that canteen of water, we're going on on foot.

You and your stupid... Shut up, Will.

The devil takes care of his own.

We're going to ride after all.

Well? We're past the dungo cliff.

We can turn west and head for home.

Jack, look!

That baby gazelle. Poor thing's probably separated from its mother. It'll just

die out here.

No more rescue operations.

Oh, please.

Look, the fire's getting close. It'd be plain foolhardy.

This is the last one.

They're turning off. They're not coming this way.

Let's call them. We've got to get out of here by car.

Hold this.

They're

stopping.

What do you think they've done that for?

Oh, who knows? Who cares?

Come on, let's get moving.

I can't use these. They're full doses. They could kill a baby.

Can't very well go up and reason with it.

He won't move.

And at this young, their natural instinct is to remain motionless,

Now wait here.

Hey, better hurry up. The fire's getting closer.

That's right, lad. Now, next time, you might well be dead.

Who are you?

Patrick Boyle Connors is me name, me lovely creature.

Yes, and I don't care much for you either.

What do you want from us?

I need your truck.

That's the only way we have to escape the fire.

Oh, I'm not an unreasonable man, especially when it comes to a sparkly

colleague.

You'll be coming with us.

After we leave the reserve, we'll do a bit of hunting.

Then we have to cross the border, and I have a feeling that you two might come

in very handy.

After that, we'll let you go.

On the other hand, if you cause me any trouble, you might meet with an

A fatal one.

Thank you.
